My in laws live in the area and we are always looking for new things to do when we visit. This is such a welcome addition to the area! The vibe is chill with a bunch of tables, some high tops and even a lounge area. The beer list is impressive with beers from all over place. They also have hard seltzers and wine if beer isn't your thing. We got some popcorn and of course a basket of the free peanuts! We also got a pizza. You basically grab a frozen pizza (all locally sourced) and they cook it and bring it to your table. Seems like they have cool events going on all the time too! We will definitely be back!

This is a cool hangout spot for sure!

When we ordered they…read morespecifically said "the food will come out when it comes, we aren't a restaurant so we will get to the food when we get to it, it's not like an appetizer that will come before the lobster roll." We went for the first time for Lobster roll night and the lobster roll was FANTASTIC! The Burrata and Grasshopper were tasty as well but the Mozzarella Wontons lacked mozzarella and were practically empty inside, maybe a very tiny sprinkle of cheese. I'd go back again for their specialty lobster night in a heartbeat but could do without the other items we had. I'd probably try a few more light bites from the menu. The server was pretty good but left us and other hanging for a long period and many people ended up going to the bar to get help, but again this is mainly a bar and the special night had a place full of patrons for food and I believe our server was the only one for the whole place and then two people solely behind the bar.

In addition to the main hall there is a nice cafe room with places to sit and relax while enjoying beverages from coffee to mixed drinks that can be purchased from the bar. It was the perfect place for Wausau's 2020 Martin Luther King Day event. The main hall provided ample room for the the program which included a band, an awards presentation and the featured speaker. I'm sure that the hall is a suitable venue for concerts and other events as well. The buffet line for the catered meal was in the corridor outside of the main hall which was not ideal (though probably necessary) -- it was quite crowded when everyone was getting their food and the congestion was exacerbated with others coming and going from the main hall to the cafe etc.. The number of tables in the main hall was insufficient for the number of attendees. We, along with many others had to balance dinner plates on our laps and set our drinks on the floor while eating. I'm not sure whether the responsibility for this falls on the event planners or the hall management but it was a definite negative for me. A few other things -- positive and negative. There is a nice display of artwork from local artists displayed on the walls. Even while the MLK event was going on there at least one other small group conducting a meeting in another area of the building. Parking was limited and the cars were parked rather haphazardly (and the ice and snow of January certainly doesn't make parking easy either). We needed to park across the street -- fortunately the county offices located there are closed in the evening.

I've seen many shows here and have enjoyed them all, except that the last two shows I have had the disappointing experience of persons having a full on conversation right behind me. I get that people will talk, but nonstop, throughout a performance, with the doors to the concert hall mere feet behind us? Even worse, each of these times one of the venue owners has been a discussion participant. Again, never not had a great time and the talent is top notch. I'd recommend the owners entertain their friends outside of the room (and perhaps the sound tech turn down the bass).

This place was a finding a diamond in the Rough of Wisconsin…read more Jarrod and Issac took care of us. The food was not your typical Wisconsin type cheesehead food. it was actually pretty flavorful and good. they had some really interesting craft cocktails there, in fact some place that creates their own. I prefer this over the type of place that tries to convince you that a basic "lemon drop" is bougie. The dark wood here really gives a rustic but upscale wood cabin. I'd recommend for a nice evening out.

Spectacular atmosphere! Food is great too!…read more First time here. I'll have to say I came here for the Jagerschnitzel but pivoted to the Lemon Caper Salmon. I think I made a good choice! The salmon was cooked perfectly and came with mashed potatoes and asparagus. The restaurant has indoor, outdoor and balcony seating. Plus a really cool open room with leather chairs for drinking and talking . I can be a bit loud (traffic noise) when the outdoors area is open. But the contemporary mellow rock music covers it up well. So many beer and wine selections to choose from, but tonight I settled for a refreshing iced tea. (They cut a hunk of fresh lemon in each glass... nice touch) Now I have to come back for the Jagerschnitzel next time!

5 Star Ale is not even one star worthy! Myself and group of six friends made a recent visit to the restaurant. We tried several beers and not one us was impressed. We will say the bartender knew the product well - it's just the product itself is horrible. What made this more of bad experience is we met the owner and his son. It made us realize why the beers were so bad. The owner is a pompous jerk who obviously knows the right people in Wausau (the mayor himself was there that night). The restaurant is located in a dark area of sketchy part of Thomas street. They have a gravel lot with lighting but no one seems to park there. We parked on the street and as we were leaving the restaurant we noticed someone's car had obviously been broken into. And this is 2 blocks from the police station! There are so many breweries in Central Wisconsin that make a much fuller and smoother beer. I'd chose them over Bull Fall's anytime. read more

Bull Falls Brewery is an absolute gem in Wausau! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a warm, friendly atmosphere that feels like a true community hub. The staff is knowledgeable, welcoming, and always happy to help you find the perfect brew for your taste. The beer itself is outstanding--beautifully crafted with great balance and depth of flavor. Whether you're into crisp lagers, bold IPAs, or smooth, malty classics, there's something on tap that will seriously impress you. Their seasonal and specialty releases are always worth trying too. The taproom is cozy but lively, perfect for meeting friends, enjoying live music, or just relaxing with a pint. It's clear they take pride not only in their beer, but in creating a place where people genuinely enjoy spending time. read more

The tap room has a warm atmosphere with friendly patrons and plenty of complimentary peanuts to generate a prolonged thirst. Occasional entertaiment is offered during the week, making this a good destination for an easy evening. read more

Very relaxing vibe when you step in with hanging plants. The bar area has exposed pipes to lend an industrial feel. We got a table right away in a booth next to the bar. We ordered biscuits and gravy, kids waffles, avocado toast and warm donuts. The donuts are deep fried coated in generous amounts of sugar. While it's good but felt like the large amount of sugar is very overpowering. The berry mascarpone cheese is really delicious! Loved the homemade biscuits topped with just the right amount of gravy. The waffles were light and fluffy, the whipped cream was to die for according to my kids :) I loved all the greens on my avo toast especially the sprouts. However, I found the toast to be on the bland side with not much flavor. Needed some hot sauce to spice it up. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our brunch and the service was great as well!
